RAWALPINDI:

The National Highways and Motorways Police (NHMP) recovered Rs4.7 million from public transport operators for overcharging passengers during Eidul Fitr and imposed an additional Rs23.3 million in fines for overloading, officials said on Sunday.

The rush of passengers is a routine occurrence during Eid, as commuters working away from home return to their villages and towns in large numbers. However, complaints of excessive fare charges by public transport operators also emerge during this period.

An NHMP official stated that the crackdown against overcharging and overloading continued across Pakistan.
